Why implementing NY climate law will cut energy costs | Opinion Instead of scapegoating New York climate law, the Kathy Hochul administration must implement it for lasting relief from high energy prices.

NY Governor Hochul is on the wrong path for energy future for our State. Wrong on climate, wrong on affordability. @gptnshl.bsky.social @doreenharris.bsky.social @governor.ny.gov

"Blaming energy efficiency for rising energy prices is a myth that is unfortunately gaining traction. It’s a convenient narrative, but the data simply doesn’t support it," writes @neepenergy.bsky.social's Maggie Molina: neep.org/blog/energy-... 🔌💡

@governor.ny.gov wants to weaken NY's GHG accounting, using lenient accounting for methane to make it easier to “meet” climate goals. This is akin to “improving” public safety by giving weekends off to police to reduce costs & only counting crimes committed on weekdays (to paraphrase Anshul Gupta).

Good example of the type of scope-3 ("how it's used") harm by generative AI that big tech companies never talk about, even as they repeatedly claim false credit for scope-3 benefits of narrower data-driven prediction or decision software.

FYI, @ketanjoshi.co

Southern California air board rejected pollution rules after AI-generated flood of comments SoCal’s pollution authority scrapped a plan to phase out gas-powered appliances after receiving more than 20,000 emails sent by an AI-powered platform called CiviClick.

An emerging industry playbook: Deploy AI to flood regulators with comments. In SoCal, 20k+ AI-generated emails helped kill @southcoastaqmd.bsky.social clean air rules. We need stronger protections so officials can distinguish public input from manufactured opposition. www.latimes.com/environment/...

Ditto in NYS; except that @governor.ny.gov, @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social, and @nysdps.bsky.social don't care and turn a blind eye to this multi-billion dollar scam (not a huge exaggeration here) despite many of us raising an alarm for years.

We are now moving into the era where downstream installers such as property developers don't put fossil into buildings simply because it costs so much more than electricity.

“You don’t have to put in the gas line to the building. You don’t have to do all of the pipe in the building. You don’t have to do all the vents to get all the pollution out of the building. You’re just immediately saving money...”

All petro states (except Norway with a strong social democracy) are authoritarian; so not surprising to see the US slipping into authoritarianism, including state sponsored murder of its citizens. Difference between Iran and Minneapolis is just that of scale, for now.

Big oil and gas and their front groups like "New Yorkers for Affordable Energy" are doing the same in New York; @newyorkstateag.bsky.social needs to address that instead of caving to the gas industry on all-electric codes for new construction.

@governor.ny.gov's hard pivot towards fossil fuels will make NYS unhealthier, our air dirtier, our energy costlier & more volatile in the long run. The current energy unaffordability is the result of a fossil-fuel dominated system.

Big Oil’s Deceptive Climate Ads | Center for Climate Integrity How Four Oil Majors Sold False Promises from 2000-2025

“These deceptive advertisements not only misrepresent the climate impacts of the companies’ products, initiatives, and actions, but also feed a larger false narrative that oil and gas companies are part of the solution to climate change.” climateintegrity.org/projects/big...

POV: Big Oil explains the weather they caused.

Unfortunately, this is now the favorite fuel of @governor.ny.gov and @nysdps.bsky.social in the name of affordability (and not because gas utilities are among the top lobbying spenders in NYS 😉)! Why not move back to the more affordable lead paint and asbestos insulation, then?

Switching to electric stoves can dramatically cut indoor air pollution A new study links gas and propane stove emissions to asthma, lung cancer, and other health risks. Transitioning to electric could reduce exposure by over 50%.

Full exposure to asthma-linked pollution throughout the course of the day - including where we spend 90% of our time: indoors. One simple step can cut NO2 exposure in half. Plus, list of TOP 10 cities for highest total NO2 exposure.
